"Made last night and it was a HIT!! Making more for lunch todaywith some BBQ. Excellant way way to use that extra zucchini. Will shred lots of zucchini and put in the freezer for when the snow blows. YUM YUM YUM!!!!!"

"I made these for lunch today and my husband and sons really liked them. After shredding the zucchini, I squeezed the liquid out of it and then patted it dry with paper towel before mixing it into the egg mixture. They fried up really nice and held together. I also made a dipping sauce using miracle whip, relish, mustard and seafood seasoning. It was delicious. Thanks for the ideas on how to use your zucchini when you have too much!"
